Old Robot

This year, UB's chapter of ASME decided to build a brand new robot to replace our aging one for use in the annual battle bot competition. As our old electronics and weapons systems were failing, we started from scratch in an attempt to win at competition this time.

New Design

﻿Collaborating as a team, we came up with a brand new design for ASME's new battle bot. We designed this new robot to function right side up or upside down, and to wield a spinning inertial weapon. Since we were sharing electronics with our other robot, we needed all our electronic components to be easily removable, and as such placed them on a custom built mount that was secured within the robot.

Competition

Our new robot did exceptionally well at the competition. Out of 16 teams we took 4th place, and hope to do even better next year. We have already begun planning for what changes we want to make based off of any shortfalls this year. Check back in early 2017 to see how progress on scary terry v2 is going.
